Title reads like tall skinny bitches were wearing robot costumes. What they meant to say is that the robots weren't autonomous.

Didn't they actually have people in robot costumes previously though?

Yeah, it was a guy they had come out on stage and do a dance in a morph suit and a helmet.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

Yes and that was just pathetic

My recollection is it was the “unveiling” before they built it and it was one person in a costume.
